Overheard while en route from Loveland, Colo., to Mesa, Ariz.:

United 123: Center, weve got continuous chop at 390. Is the ride any better lower?

Center: United 123, standby. Cactus 222 hows the ride?

Cactus 222: Continuous chop at 350.

Center: United 111, no joy. Were getting reports of continuous light to moderate chop at all flight levels.
